It is a shame. Was it the Bruins you were playing against?

Don’t go to Yankees games. They used to ban Black players. They have a racist past. Shun them.

It’s amazing how the narrative about democrats gets so ‘air-brushed’ such that they are all heroes and heroines fighting for ‘the people’. In truth, most of the most elitist, selfish, narrow-minded, and vindictive people I’ve met in my life are Democrats.

Let’s go after Warner Brothers for “Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs.”

It’s a cultural revolution Marxist style.

The Khmer Rouge started out like this. People laughed at them once too.

She is an icon of American popular culture

.....which is why the left feels her legacy must be destroyed, and any trace that Kate Smith ever existed must be obliterated.

Smith teamed up with known black communist Paul Robeson on some of that material. Which if examined was exposing racial difficulties experienced by blacks. Typical of the use of Perverse Cliometric tactics used by the left when it’s presented as being politically correct to fit their distorted perverted revisionist views.

Yeah, the left loves to attack dead people who cannot speak for themselves. Those that don’t vote for them, they hate. The dead that is.

“Another is her 1933 recording, “Pickaninny Heaven,” which asks “colored children” living in an orphanage to dream about a magical place of “great big watermelons.””

Didn’t Elvis release a remake of that old tune?

How many black players do the Flyers have? Two? Is that a reflection of their values?

Our family used to watch Kate Smith’s TV show when it was on, and remember her singing that song. I believe it was her program’s theme song.
